A Coalition of Civil Society Organizations on Human Rights Monitors has called on critical stakeholders on human rights to galvanize efforts and fight against the indiscriminately deportations of immigrants globally.
The Convener of the group and Executive Director, Grassroots Center for Rights and Civil Orientation, Mr Armsfree Ajanaku made the call during a press conference in Abuja.
He said there is an urgent need for stakeholders to bring to bear their expertise and support the struggle in addressing the situation of human rights violation especially the repatriation of African immigrants.
Ajanaku also emphasized the need to spotlight on extent policy by government that undermines the rights and dignity of it’s citizens,” There is the urgent need to analyse the policies, and programs of political leaders, the world over, through the lenses of the extent to which they respect the human rights and the dignity of all persons. Notwithstanding the national interest or objectives driving domestic policies,
”As such, there is the urgent need to analyse the policies, and programs of political leaders, the world over, through the lenses of the extent to which they respect the human rights and the dignity of all persons. Notwithstanding the national interest or objectives driving domestic policies.
”Notwithstanding the national interest or objectives driving domestic policies, if they fail the test of respecting, promoting and protecting the rights and dignity of the human family, such policies, should be strongly condemned and exhaustively reviewed for the purpose of reforms.
”This Coalition is very clear that the ideals of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, should not be discountenanced. The time-tested words of the declaration remain relevant till this day:
“Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world…Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people…”
”Violation of the rights of immigrants through arbitrary deportations
Contrary to these lofty ideals, Human Rights Monitors has been observing the various human rights violations connected to the arbitrary deportations of immigrants from the United States. “He said.
The Converner also expressed that, country that prides itself as the bastion of democracy and human rights, violate the rights of asylum-seekers and migrants, while denying them the opportunity to ask for safety, and security.
”In the context of the immigration crackdown, we have seen shocking scenes in which the homes of immigrants are raided, and their mass arrests effected. We have seen families being torn apart as parents are forcefully removed and placed in detention facilities. We have seen people fleeing war zones and political persecution being harassed for seeking refuge
”In the process of implementing these mass deportations, acts such as arbitrary detention, separation of immigrants from their families, the disruption of hitherto harmonious communities, and the subjection of those affected to racial profiling, combine to undermine their fundamental human rights as enshrined in international and municipal human rights instruments.
”According to American Civil Liberties Union: “(US)Federal immigration enforcement policies, including border enforcement measures by Customs and Border Protection (CBP), have led to an increase in racial profiling, border killings, and denial of due process rights.
”Immigrant workers are often abused, exploited, and have become scapegoats and victims of racism and stereotyping.”
HRM Submits Statement to UN Human Rights Council . He stated.
The group further reaffirmed their commitment of not folding arms and allow impunity to strive but rather keep the struggle alive for those in Concern to tackle the situation head on.
”The Statement submitted by this Coalition drew attention to the human rights situation with respect to the forced and arbitrary deportation of immigrants and the need for the United States to fulfil its obligations under international law. Our advocacy is for human rights, and dignity by ensuring all programs, policies and priorities do not mortgage rights and human dignity on the altar of internal domestic expediency.
This was the central theme in the statement submitted to the UN Human Rights Council. This Coalition stressed the point that the safety, welfare and well being of migrants and immigrants should not be thrown overboard in a bid to crack down on immigration.
”We equally made it clear that the resort to mass deportation violates several human rights and freedoms. These include protection against return to a country where people are at real risk of torture and other serious harms (refoulement); the right to seek asylum; freedom from arbitrary detention; family unity and children’s rights; and the principle of non-discrimination.
”This Coalition similarly addressed the effects of the current immigration crackdown on families of immigrants. Human rights campaigners have identified how Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have introduced more arbitrary measures, including the detention and separation of families, which have for years built their lives in the United States. We have equally seen families who were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS), pending asylum applications, being detained and charged with illegal entry.
”There can be no mistaken the fact that these actions dehumanize, criminalize, and cause real suffering to people, many of who are fleeing human rights crises to seek safety. ” group stated.
